*This system is for currently enrolled students for the 2010 academic year.
*For new students entering in 2011, the Waseda University affiliated Waseda University Enterprise, Corp.(Tel: 03-5285-3016, Email:info@wue.jp)is available to introduce a private guarantor insurance company.
In Japan, a guarantor is typically required in order to rent a room in an apartment or condominium. As a rule, international students must find a guarantor on their own. However, if you have arrived in Japan only recently and cannot find anyone to be your guarantor, Waseda University may become your guarantor subject to the following conditions (Note 1).
|
|
|
| （Note 1） |
| |
・ |
You must register for the "Comprehensive Renter's Insurance for Foreign Students" operated by the Japan Educational Exchanges and Services. |
| |
・ |
Waseda University will only remain the guarantor for the time period in which the student is enrolled at Waseda University AND is enrolled in the "Comprehensive Renter's Insurance for Foreign Students". |
| |
・ |
Waseda University's responsibility for coverage as guarantor will be limited to those conditions as dictated by the " Comprehensive Renter's Insurance for Foreign Students" policy. |
|
Please be sure to carefully read and understand the policy for the "Comprehensive Renter's Insurance for Foreign Students" by reading information available at the Japan Educational Exchanges and Services website (http://www.jees.or.jp/crifs/index.htm) before applying to enroll.
Enrollment procedures may be completed at the Residence Center. Please bring your student ID (or Certificate of Admission) and your Alien Registration card (or your passport) to apply.
